Our Vision
To eliminate as much medical debt we can for the authors and artists who entertain us. To give them financial peace of mind during their hardest of times. That is our purpose for being here. Grim Oak Shield is networking, experience, and passion — all to help those in need.
Our Story
When authors came to writer Shawn Speakman’s aid with Unfettered, he knew he would one day pay that help forward. Grim Oak Shield is the non-profit vehicle to make that happen.
